Weird entry in /var/log/auth.log

Hello!
Well, I was looking through my logs and came across this just now in /var/log/auth.log. I have no idea what this means, so in case it is something to worry about I figured I'd make a post.
Does anyone know what this means? I couldn't find anything of use regarding this entry.

It looks like a bug in one of the JavaScripts that get loaded and run when you surf the forums. It's part of the Omniture SiteCatalyst web analytics product. Apple must use it to analyze traffic on this site.
There's nothing you can do about it, it's nothing to worry about, and only Apple (or Omniture) can fix it.

    It looks like your video card, or lack of a module installed for it, is causing the panics. 
    My suggestions: 
    Please post a video card manufacturer, and model...of your video card, and some system details, and  more information.
    Please paste any files or code, etc, by forum pasting guidelines please.
    First, I  would like to see a list of all modules you are blacklisting (in /etc/modprobe.d/) and  if any are in /etc/rc.conf
    Secondly, have you done a 'pacman -Syyu' in console to update your system?
    Thirdly, can you paste to us, (and using forum pasting guidelines)  the output of 'lspci -v'
    Also, are you using 32-bit or 64-bit kernel?  (uname -m) and your Arch install version is?  (uname -r)
    Also, please elaborate more on your Arch Install. 
    a) Gnome, KDE, etc ?
    b) X11 ?
    c) and have you installed "xf86-video-intel"
    ---end
    *** all the below  are not fully necessary, unless you believe a card or plug is badly seated/inserted ****
    a) shutdown and turn off power to computer, and then unplug it,
    b) then open your case,
    c) THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT: make sure you are not making static like rubbing on a carpet.
    d) touch the metal case inside the computer with both hands for a few secs (clears a static charge)
        before you touch anything else inside your computer.
    e) and find your video card, make sure it is seated and inserted fully.
    f) sometimes you have to remove the card, and put it back in.
    g) Close the computer case, and make sure all connections are secure and tight.

    all files, that have dublicate name with .1 at the end, are always empty and as time goes by files with the same name but with .2, .3, .4 appear but also empty. It looks like arch is trying to create logs but something goes wrong and nothing is logged.
    second: i got errors from cron if i do run-cron /etc/cron.daily/ related to log files:
    sudo run-cron /etc/cron.daily/
    error: syslog-ng:1 duplicate log entry for /var/log/crond.log

    looks like the files r corrupted or something. please help find out the reasons and fix things up.

    I think it has to do with the group log having write permissions...

    Did you chown -R root:root /var/log on Apr 7?

  • Frequency of /var/log/auth.log purges (question answered)

    I check /var/log/auth.log almost daily for break-in attempts - always unsuccessful (knock on wood) thanks do DenyHosts. However, I recently found that the log had been emptied!
    Being a little paranoid as I usually am, I thought at first that someone had broken in and was trying to cover their tracks. But then I realized it was November 1...
    Is /var/log/auth.log cleared monthly? How can I control how often it is cleared, if at all?

    I agree with vacant. And you can run this command to see your earlier auth.log files:
    ls -la /var/log/auth.log*
    If you care about log files then you should definitely read more about logrotate, cron, anacron and syslog.

  • Private/var/log/asl files are huge: weird iTunes stuff

    Hi all,
    I am running ancient OS 10.5.8 on my ancient MacBook.   I noticed some rather large log files in private/var/log/asl eating up HDD space, and wanted to delete them, but I scanned through them first to see if I could get an idea of what was going on. 
    It turns out I'm getting this same thing from iTunes over and over:  it will always be just over 11316 lines long.
    Example:

    This happened over and over again.  Anyone have any idea what is going on here?  iTunes is 10.6 if that matters. 

    I think the following will do the trick for you (from http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10329979-263.html?tag=mfiredir):
    Fix: Restart log managers after removing asl data
    Open the Terminal application and enter the following two commands to stop the log managers:
    sudo launchctl stop com.apple.syslogd
    sudo launchctl stop com.apple.aslmanager
    Then create a folder on your desktop called "temp" (to store the moved "data store" files), and enter the following command in the Terminal to move the "ASL" data to the new temporary folder:
    sudo mv /var/log/asl/* ~/Desktop/temp/
    Finally, restart the "syslogd" process with the following command (the aslmanager will be started when needed by syslogd, so it doesnt need to be manually restarted):
    sudo launchctl start com.apple.syslogd

  • Hard Drive filling up: SubmitDiagInfo, /private/var & log issues

    This topic is part question, part help for people I've seen having a similar problem in other threads. My issue is different enough from the other issues, that I wanted to post it as a separate topic.
    I've had about 24GB of available space for weeks now. I haven't downloaded any large files recently, nor created any myself.
    Suddenly I noticed the hard drive space decreasing. I went from 24GB, to 19GB, to 10GB, then 8, 5, 1.5... next thing I knew, it said I had 260MB available. This was within maybe two days, with a big ramp-down within a couple of hours this morning, while I was on a train, and not even connected to a network.
    I started getting error messages saying my hard drive was full; then, I got errors saying I didn't have enough application memory, and applications were being paused, and I would have to force quit them. Within about 5 minutes, I dropped from 1.5GB to 260MB.
    Thinking back, the last week or so, I remembered that sometimes when I came into my office in the morning, my Mac would be awake (I usually sleep it at the end of the day, and an error message would be displayed saying SubmitDiagInfo had crashed. I thought this might have something to do with it.
    I did some detective work in these forums. I checked Activity Monitor and the Console. Sure enough, SubmitDiagInfo was taking up a bunch of CPU time.
    The Console revealed I had a lot of Diagnostic Logs. I tried deleting them with the Console's Clear button, but it didn't seem to do anything. I checked with OmniDiskSweep, and sure enough, I had over 20GB of log files.
    At this point, my hard drive was so full, I had to force quit OmniDiskSweep. I used the Go To Folder command and entered /private/var/log - The Diagnostic Logs folder was nearly 20GB. I deleted it and emptied the trash immediately.
    I looked at the /private/var/vm folder and noticed it was also very large (10GB), but I had read elsewhere not to mess with this folder.
    From the console, I quit SubmitDiagInfo.
    I check my hard drive, and I'm suddenly back to 24GB free space.
    When I look again at /private/var/vm, and sure enough it is 5GB smaller.
    This is weird stuff, and I hope this description helps anyone else having this problem.
    What's interesting is, because the /private folder is invisible, you can't use it to calculate your disk space usage. For example, the folders on my drive had the following space usage:
    62.46GB34.53GB+22.96GB+4.78GB4.02GB = 128.75GB (plus a few "small" folders with maybe 300MB)
    Since the drive showed 159GB total space available, I couldn't figure out where the other 30GB was.
    Once I found /private/log, I could see it had 19.29GB:
    62.4634.53+22.96+4.78+4.0219.29 = 148.04 - ah, this makes more sense, but I'm still missing 10GB! So, I look at /private/vm, and boom, there is the extra 10.6GB hiding. All 159GB present and accounted for.
    The question I have is, of course, can anyone explain why this is happening, so I can prevent it from happening again?
    I hope someone finds this helpful.

    Thanks... that is helpful. I have Carbon Copy Cloner, not
    Super Duper, so I will keep that solution in mind.
    Do not, repeat do not, clone your current suspect hard drive
    to your CCC backup. That would defeat the purpose of having
    a good backup. I don't know if you can boot from you CCC
    backup. That would be a good test. I was able to boot from
    my SuperDuper backup and notice normal hard drive space.
    In the meantime, I ran the extended system test, and the
    computer passed.
    Mine with the growing hard drive passed every test I had plus
    the test Apple recommended. They were quick place the blame
    on a Virtual Windows XP Pro. I do not thing that was the
    problem. My normal Macintosh HD is usually about 52 GB
    and it was showing 110 GB used and I never could figure out
    what was hogging the hard drive.
    Good luck!

  • Errors in /var/log/alf.log?

    When I look in /var/log/alf.log all I see is entries like this:
    SecCodeCreateWithPID error:: No such process
    What does it mean?
    socketfilterfw shows up in the Activity Monitor, so it appears that Apple's application firewall is not completely dead. How would I best test whether it is functioning properly?

    1) lxdm is in /usr/sbin

    /usr/sbin/lxdm
    2) AFAIK lxdm does not use .xinitrc
    edit: Maybe you are trying to run /usr/bin/lxdm (which doesn't exist) in inittab and the correct one in DAEMONS in rc.conf

  • Restoration of /var/log/secure.log from Time Machine Backup

    I have a need to restore /var/log/secure.log from Time Machine Backup on Lion Server, but can not find any entries for this file in the Time Machine archives even when using the find command.   It seems like it is not backed up.   I'm hoping that this is not the case; if it is it represents a pretty large mistake from a security perspective.
    Is there something that I'm missing?
    Thanks

    ...sigh...
    Try time machine and see what happens...  I dare ya!
    I've helped several folks here who were using TM on Snow Leopard Server quite successfully.  In most cases, as in most cases of trouble with backups on client Macs, they were having hardware problems.
    Granted this is a 10.6 server page, but they haven't updated open LDAP in a way that would change it's database functionality, nor have they changed the way time machine backs up and what it backs up.
    Nowhere there does Apple say that "Time Machine is NOT a suitable backup solution for a server" or anything like that.
    The article clarifies what it does, and does not, back up.   So it may or may not be a suitable backup solution depending on individual situations.

  • Sony ereader error in /var/log/system.log

    I have had a sony ereader software installed which I deleted long time ago (by pressing command-delete from applications). But still getting error in /var/log/system.log

  • /var/log permissions

    I recently helped setup arch on a friends computer, I don't currently have arch installed myself so I have no way of checking this. I added his user to the log group so that he would be able to view logfiles without being root, if I remember correctly this worked great for me, the problem is there's only a few logs he can view.. Is this something that has changed recently or have the permissions accidentally been changed somehow..?

    my /var/log/boot file is obviously outdated, last entry is saying 'Wed Feb  8 22:03:57 2012...'. As far as I remember I didn't touch system configuration, so I must have missed something. Can anyone give me a short hint how to reanimate bootlogd?

    It should still start. The man page of bootlogd mentions a possible cause, but I'm too much of a linux noob to understand what it says:
    BUGS
           Bootlogd  works  by  redirecting  the  console  output from the console
           device.  (Consequently bootlogd requires PTY support in the kernel con‐
           figuration.)  It copies that output to the real console device and to a
           log file.  There is no standard way of ascertaining  the  real  console
           device  if  you have a new-style /dev/console device (major 5, minor 1)
           so bootlogd parses the kernel  command  line  looking  for  console=...
           lines and deduces the real console device from that.  If that syntax is
           ever changed by the kernel, or a console type  is  used  that  bootlogd
           does not know about then bootlogd will not work.

  • ICal doesn't show delegation, and generates date and time error messages in /var/log/system.log

    I have a problem with my iCal, when I use my caldav account, I can only see my own calendar on my MBA, on my co-workers MBP it works fine with both my account and his. My co-worker can't see other calendars than his own when he uses iCal on my laptop.
    We can reproduce this problem on his computer by setting Location to Automatic rather than Amsterdam, then after deleting iCal's cache files, the caldav account and setting the Location back to Amsterdam solves the problem for him.
    It does not solve the problem for me (or several other co-workers). We've been looking at this for a few weeks, and we can not find any clear pattern why certain machines have this problem and others don't.
    All machines (both affected and unaffected) are running Mac OS 10.7.2 with iCal 5.0.1
    I've spoken to Apple support over the phone (in the Netherlands), unfortunately, they couldn't help with this.
    So far we've tried numerous location and language settings, but on affected machines nothing appears to solve the delegation problem (which we assume to be connected to the error messages iCal generates)
    Starting iCal yeilds the following error messages in /var/log/system.log:

    And when I close iCal I get:

    I'm seeing the same thing, and I can't even find where OS X stores calendars on disk anymore...

  • Var/log/mail.log file empty

    My var/log/mail.log isn't logging anything, the file seems to empty since 4th March 2010 3:15 AM
    Have tried the below mentioned troubleshooting steps, but no luck though
    1. Stopped and restarted mail service
    2. Repaired disk permissions through disk utility application
    3. Repaired permissions through terminal diskutil
    4. Restarted daemons as suggested in this forum http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2088823&tstart=60
    5. Changed permissions as suggested on this forum http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-13985.html
    Any help please!!!

    Change the archive log to 3 days. Make sure all three log levels are set to information. Restart mail and see if any thing appears in the logs.
    Also how are you viewing the logs - using SA or Console?
    Thanks,
    Henry

    Hi,
    #h1:35:respawn:/etc/init.d/init.cssd run >/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null
    by commenting above line in initttab file would stop messaging, is this would have any adverse affect on the database. As its a production server, so i am really taking time to resolve it. Your suggestions are welcome. If there is no harm in commenting the above line then i would go forward to comment that line.
    Thanks
